Shadow Stream of Leaf

Nothing happened overnight, the next morning Hanyu's team hurriedly ended the night's rest, and then continued on their way forward. After another day and a half passed safely, they arrived at the frontline command post before the deadline.

The reason why big countries with strong military power can tolerate the existence of small countries and small ninja villages with insufficient power is because on the one hand, the division of national boundaries and territories in the world itself is affected by historical and geographical factors; The purpose of this is to leave a buffer zone between each other.

Otherwise, when the one-village-one-country system is established, the fate of waiting for those small countries is to be flattened and eaten away by big countries.

So far, retaining the existence of small countries on the border has been proven to be a correct decision, because no matter how far the current ninja world war is fought, the main battlefield has always been on such a buffer zone, the territory of small countries among.

Regardless of whether it was the first Ninja World War or the subsequent wars, the main battlefields are the same... Indeed, in every war, villages like Konoha suffered terribly, but the worse ones will always be caught in the shadows. Small countries between the land of fire, the land of wind and the land of earth.

This does not even accuse Konoha of deliberate bullying. The reason is very simple. When the war is fought in one's own country or in other countries, when there are two choices, everyone will choose the latter.

Therefore, even if the ninja's military damage is very serious, the production and other facilities in the big country have not been irreparably damaged, so the war can last longer, so the big country and the big ninja village can be restored soon after the war vitality.

Compared with countries like Uzumaki and Tanokuni, the current Kawanokuni where Hanyu and others are located is actually not small in terms of area, but it has no ability to resist in the Ninja World War. The reason is that There is no ninja village in this country.

At present, Konoha has about 4,000 ninjas deployed in the territory of the country of Chuan. In order to form a balance with Konoha, at least the number of sand hidden ninjas should be equal to that of Konoha, so this country has been crowded with densely packed ninjas.

In fact, Hanyu has always felt that ninjas get together and look stupid. Flexible squad operations are the characteristics of ninjas. It should be samurai and not ninjas who deploy in groups and instigate large-scale attacks. Shouldn't ninjas line up and shout? Attack with slogans?

But the current deployment and combat methods cannot be determined by one village and one country. When the war has progressed to this extent, any party can only concentrate its forces on the attack.

The "very ninja" way of warfare that Hanyu imagined was determined by small-scale battles, which could only exist in the war-torn era before the establishment of the ninja village system. When ninjas form a village, their strength is much stronger than during the clan war, and the scale of the battle naturally swells uncontrollably.

Of course, even if the manpower is arranged so densely together, the battle between the ninjas will still not completely lose their characteristics... It is true that the two major ninja villages have deployed heavy troops in the country of Chuan, but unless it is a strategic level Decisive battle, otherwise neither side will be able to overwhelm their own strength in one fell swoop.

At present, most of the battles between Sand Hidden and Konoha are still dominated by encounters between sporadic and small groups of troops. entered the stage of strategic stalemate.

After the Hanyu team arrived here and reported to the frontline headquarters, as he had expected, they were dispatched only a few hours later.

Before Hokage arrived, Konoha's commander-in-chief at this time was Uchiha Mirror. When in the village, Sanxiao could shout at Uchiha mirror, and Hanyu could see him often, but that kind of situation would never happen here. Even Hanyu didn't even have the qualifications to meet the other party for the time being.

After the report was completed, Hanyu returned to the team members with the mission. He opened the mission map he had just obtained, pointed to a small area on it and said, "Because the previous investigation team in this area completely lost contact, Command presumes they've been killed, and now we need to step up."

Although the word conjecture is used, both the headquarters and Hanyu can confirm that the ninja team is dead... In this kind of place, as long as the ninja's regular contact is not delivered to the headquarters on time, it will be will be judged dead.

"What about the time?" Nara Nagisa was asking when the team lost contact.

"It's been seven hours." Hanyu told everyone the information he got from the headquarters. Generally speaking, regular contact with frontline ninjas is made every six hours, and special signals will be sent in case of emergency, but the team that Hanyu and the others are going to replace neither sent out signals nor made regular contact. It has been solved silently by the enemy.

"Then what is our mission, offense or defense?" Nara asked again.

"Defense, our task is to defend that area. If there is a small group of sand hidden ninjas infiltrating, wipe them out; if the enemy invades at a medium or larger scale, we must warn the headquarters in time." Hanyu said, before being attacked When handing over the mission, he also specifically asked if he wanted to collect the whereabouts of the missing ninja team or investigate the cause of their death, but this question was rejected cleanly.

There are ninjas dying here every day, and the headquarters simply don't have the energy to investigate the causes of their deaths one by one, let alone retrieve their remains.

"The time limit is five days, and someone will rotate us after five days, and if we don't get a rotation order after one week, we will be allowed to take the initiative to withdraw... Are there any problems with the mission?"

"No more." The three members shook their heads together, Hanyu's explanation of the mission was clear enough.

"Okay, let's start to arrange the combat formation below because it is a defensive task. In order to ensure a wide view and not be quenched, I am going to adopt a scattered position arrangement. The basic formation is a 't' formation. Narading and I are at the end In the front, respond to the first attack. Ten meters behind is Renjuro, who is responsible for reconnaissance and passing information forward and backward in the center. Twenty meters behind Renjuro is Chichiwa. You must ensure sufficient height and vision, and pay attention at all times Support us... Attention, because the position is too wide, you must conceal yourself, otherwise, if the rear is attacked, it will be difficult for us to return to support."

"In terms of formation, do you have any comments?"

Everyone shook their heads again.

It's hard to believe that the people who set up the tactics and listen to the tactics are a group of fourteen-year-old children. They are too calm and cold. Ninjas are not killing machines, everyone knows this, but they are constantly urging themselves to evolve in the direction of killing machines.

Even if he is about to enter the battlefield, Hanyu's thinking is still very clear, and his language expressions are extremely accurate and concise... In the first battle, it is absolutely impossible to overwhelm him psychologically.

Hanyu fully understood the task he was given, that is, they could die, but they had to pass back the information when they died, so he adopted a scattered formation. The most dangerous in this formation is actually Qianqianhe. In essence, she has lost touch with the front. If the front encounters an irresistible enemy, she is the last guarantee to send back information, and if the enemy kills from the rear or flank If she does, she will die instantly.

"Okay, check the equipment, supplies..."

"No problem? Let's go!"

Ninja gear, armor, rations, medicines, as well as scrolls and special flares used to convey information, Hanyu and the team members re-examined the items they carried.

After confirming everything was correct, they galloped towards the mission target.
